Spice Digital, India’s leading mobile VAS provider, has launched Desi Tunes, a new regional Hello Tunes Portal for mobile subscribers of Airtel. This is a unique service that allows subscribers to set their favorite regional song as their Hello Tune and share it on their Facebook.
To avail the service, subscriber will have to dial the tollfree shortcode 5787893 and browse through the regional content, across demographics, to set their preferred song as their Hello Tune.
